FAQ
What devices can I donate to the National Device Bank?
Currently the National Device Bank only accepts contributions of more than 50 devices, such as laptops, mobile phones and tablets, from private and public sector organisations. We accept used laptops that meet the following specifications: CPU Intel Core i5 6th generation or higher, 8GB+ RAM, 128GB+ SSD, WiFi capability, built-in webcam/microphone, and 13.3″+ screen. Power adapters are highly appreciated. Many businesses wonder where to donate old laptops or cell phones that will truly make a difference.

Whether you’re looking to donate laptops or computers, our secure process makes corporate social responsibility simple and effective while supporting marginalised groups across Australia.

How will my financial donations be used?
Your financial support fuels the National Device Bank. While donated laptops form the backbone of this initiative, funding is essential to professionally refurbish and securely sanitise every device, install productivity and cybersecurity software, and provide recipients with the digital coaching and ongoing technical support they need to use their device confidently. Your donation directly supports marginalised groups in Australia by helping us scale our refurbishment process and reach more communities. Donations also help us scale the program, expand our reach, direct more of the devices we receive to communities who need them and sustain our model so we can continue delivering life-changing technology to Australians facing digital exclusion. By donating money, you’re not just funding a device, you’re investing in opportunities for education, employment, and connection for people across the country.
What support do recipients get after receiving a device?
Recipients receive more than laptops and tablets, The National Device Bank ensure they receive access to digital skills development. Our program recognises that simply donating old phones or laptops without support creates limited impact. That’s why each recipient connects with digital skills training through our network of 6,000 community partners. This support includes basics like device setup, internet safety, and essential applications usage. For many marginalised groups in Australia, this combination of technology and training represents their first opportunity to fully participate in digital society. The approach demonstrates what social responsibility means in practice, providing both tools and knowledge. By addressing the digital literacy gap alongside digital device needs, we create sustainable pathways to education, employment, and essential services access.
What are the benefits of donating?
Your donated devices create impact that matters. By giving laptops and phones a second life, you actively reduce electronic waste and support environmental sustainability. Your technology helps bridge the digital divide by providing essential tools to students, jobseekers, and families who need them most. We protect your data with accredited wiping processes and handle all logistics from collection to distribution. Not-for-profits in our network use your refurbished devices to deliver vital services across communities. For your business, the process is simple yet powerful. The National Device Bank provides impact reports for your corporate social responsibility activities, helping you demonstrate real social value. Many socially responsible companies find that device donation creates authentic stories of change that resonate both internally and externally.
